Pioneer Institute, a nonprofit policy think tank, has organized reams of data on state spending into a free online database that includes state worker salaries, public pensions and vendor contracts.
The database, MassOpenBooks, is part of an institute mission to promote transparency in government.
...the data used in this website are public records obtained from the State Comptroller’s Office and the State Retirement Board. It was at one point entered into the system manually, so we cannot guarantee 100% data accuracy or completeness.
...a directory of links to federal, state, county and municipal government salary and employee name databases. These searchable databases of salaries, pay, overtime and compensation of government workers are compiled by news organizations, open government advocates and government agencies.
